Dear Friends,

YOU CAN JOIN ME FOR A FOOD AND WINE ODYSSEY, VACATION
AND EDUCATION TOUR IN PIEDMONT OCT 12-18TH.

            You will be taken from Milan’s Malpensa airport by private motor coach to the elegant Villa d’Amelia in the heart of Barolo, Barbaresco, and Barbera country.      

            Villa d’Amelia sits on the top of a Piedmont hillside looking down the valley towards Alba.  Tastefully designed with that Italian style that makes names like Armani, Ferragamo, Gucci, and Cavalli arbiters of fashion.  It will be our home as we explore the vineyards and the best restaurants of the Barolo and Barbaresco zone.  Side trips to Torino, the recent host of the Winter Olympics, and Alba will add culture and exploration to your culinary trip.

            I have arranged private wine tastings at each winery with the winemakers and owners, all personal friends.  This will give you the opportunity to meet and talk with them in a relaxed and personal ambiance.

            You will experience the full range of Piedmontese dining with lunches and dinners in trattorias and elegant restaurants, all having passed my test of excellence.  And time has been set aside for you to rest, relax, stroll on your own, or enjoy Villa d’Amelia’s heated outdoor swimming pool and Wellness Center steam bath, sauna, whirlpool, massage table, and beauty treatments.

            To make this week enjoyable, relaxing, informative, and personal, I HAVE PLACED A LIMIT OF 12 PEOPLE for the week.  This unique week will insure individual attention while sharing the pleasures of the trip with Food and Wine Odyssey friends.  So, don’t delay your reservation with this limited number of places.
